Venus & Vesta explains the spiritual activity of the Sun, Moon and Earth and how they interact and what this means at a Solar Eclipse when the elementals can rise, much like how Shakespeare portrays the magic, mystery and trickery in Midsummer Night’s Dream. She discusses the unique celestial occurrences, such as the appearance of the "Devil Comet" 12P Ponds Brooks, the Mercury Retrograde on April Fool's Day, the solar eclipse on the 8th, and the conjunctions involving Mercury, Chiron, and Venus. The alignment of celestial bodies like the Sun, Moon, Chiron, and Mars in Pisces and Aries highlights the profound opportunities for personal growth, self-awareness, and creative manifestation during this astrologically charged period. KEY TAKEAWAYS The first week of April 2024 is marked by significant astrological events, including a solar eclipse in Aries and a Mercury retrograde. The solar eclipse at 19 degrees Aries, conjunct Chiron, prompts deep introspection and healing, urging individuals to tap into their deep sensitivity and reevaluate their purpose. The alignment of Mars and Saturn in Pisces during the eclipse signifies a time for activating psychic centres and emotional understanding on a collective level. The celestial events, including America's Pluto Return, the USA elections and potential political shifts in the UK, indicate a period of evolution and transformation on a global scale, all related to Pluto's action, in relation to the aspects in April. The combination of Chiron in Aries, the solar eclipse, and the Mars-Saturn conjunction offers an opportunity for individuals to embrace their creativity, tap into their potential, and gain a deeper awareness of their existence and purpose. BEST MOMENTS Shakespeare's "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind..." is the perfect description of this Solar Eclipse and Mercury Retrograde..." "This is like the starter klaxon for something big that's happening deep, deep within humanity and the reasons for our incarnation here." "This retrograde starts at 27 degrees Aries. So again, something else happening in Aries." "I feel like this is going to be quite destructive to these political parties or the old guard political parties." "I feel like this is absolutely the time to put our best version of ourselves forward."
